exsl:node-set not retrieving attribute's value - perl

Question

Here is a toned down version of my use case. I have
XSL file for transformation
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common" extension-element-prefixes="exsl">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="Message">
<xsl:for-each select="ent">
<xsl:variable name="current_key" select="#key"/>
<xsl:variable name="current_type" select="#type"/>
<xsl:variable name="Match" select="exsl:node-set(msg)/ent"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="exsl:node-set($Match)/#type"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="exsl:node-set($Match)/#key|exsl:node-set($Match)/translation/text()"/>
<!--- <xsl:copy-of select="exsl:node-set($Match)/#key|exsl:node-set($Match)/translation/text()|exsl:node-set($Match)/#type"/> Trial statement -->
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:call-template name = "Me" select="$Message"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And an input file as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<msg>
<ent key="key1" type="error">
<text>Error: Could not find </text>
<translation>Another Error similar to previous one.</translation>
</ent>
<ent key="key2" type="damage">
<text>Error2: Could not find2 </text>
<translation>Another Error2 similar to previous one.</translation>
</ent>
</msg>
I am using libXSLT in Perl as my transformation engine. My transformation script is already mentioned in this answer. Whenever I execute the script, I get the output as follows.
Error: Could not find
Another Error similar to previous one.
Error2: Could not find2
Another Error2 similar to previous one.
Why is the attribute type not getting printed? How do I retrieve it with the help of exsl:node-set or any other techniques? Also, can I include the attribute type in the trial statement in such a way that it will be in the output?

The following stylesheet:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/msg">
<xsl:for-each select="ent">
<xsl:text>KEY: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="#key"/>
<xsl:text>
TYPE: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="#type"/>
<xsl:text>
TEXT: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="text"/>
<xsl:text>
TRANSLATION: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="translation"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied to your input example, will produce:
KEY: key1
TYPE: error
TEXT: Error: Could not find
TRANSLATION: Another Error similar to previous one.
KEY: key2
TYPE: damage
TEXT: Error2: Could not find2
TRANSLATION: Another Error2 similar to previous one.
